Default Audi s6 6 speed slight hesitation

Hello,

im new here and i currently owning a s6 avant with 6 speed. i dont really have a problem but maybe someone on here can help me.
when i drive the car and i pull through the gears i can feel a slight hesitation in the engine at about 5000rpm. its more like the engine "holds in/a little bit down on power" ( i dont know if thats proper english ?)i doesnt feel like a missfire or a bad coil. the car climbs good through the revs

You need to do that with VAG-COM, preferably you should monitor the performance when running to see if it is a misfire problem.

Normal maintenance? Spark plugs? worn cam chain tensioner shoes? burnt exhaust valve?
